not even. and characteristic only tells you which stat has the highest IV (or one of them if more than one are tied for first place)
the characteristic would help narrow down an exact IV, but only if we knew the EVs. unfortunately, too much data is missing to figure anything out. sorry

I want to get the National Dex in Pearl without capturing Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf yet (because I want to RNG them later). Is there any way to do this other than deliberately losing to them? I know In Platinum I can beat them, then beat the E4 and they'll respawn, but I don't think that works in DP.

You can talk to the one that roams the region and it'll show his picture before he flees. So he'll be added to your dex as seen. I think you have to catch the other two to get them seem

Hi everyone, i'm not sure if this is the place to post this but I recently started a new file on my Platinum and I was a f**king idiot and I killed Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina thinking that I can get really good one's on the GTS if I do some trading but I haven't been able to find any. I'm getting sick of this and I don't want to deal with it anymore. If anyone is nice enough to help me out by letting me trade over 4 of my pokemon so that I can transfer them onto my new file I would be very greatful! Please, I beg of you! PM me if you'll help out.

1. If you don't Save since mid-night, Resetting may work, but if you make a "group" in Jublife and mix records, I think it will be set.
2. Changing the clock, will "lock" the Pokemon for the next day.
3. Mixing won't affect what currently in the Marsh, but can affect the following days.

Well, today I finally beat Maylene after 5 days of trying...She managed to KO all of my Pokemon, except for my level 23 Dustox, which somehow managed to beat her Lucario with Gust. Now I'm on my merry way, trying to find a Fly slave... Oh, and I'm going to the Team Galactic place to find Lucas's Pokedex, and whatnot. :P What fun.

me:cat use scratch. friend:your cat is not a pokemon. ME: OH YEAH? CAT USE GROWL. CAT:MEOW (SHUT UP! JUST BECAUSE I CAN DO THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WILL DO THAT!) FRIEND:HA HA! ME:FEEL THE WRATH OF MY CHARZAIRD! FRIEND: DUDE THATS A TOY. ME:WAH! CAT AND FRIEND:HAH HAH! IDIOT. LATER: HEY CAT IS THAT A ARCANINE?! CAT:MEOW (I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS BUT I DONT LIKE CANINES.) FRIEND:RUN! ME: HAH HAH. TURD FACE...I TOLD HIM POKEMON WERE REAL. BY AGGRON GUY

Timid is a terrible nature for a Gible, get another one that's Adamant or Jolly. Naughty, Lonely, Naive and Hasty work quite well too. Her individual values are also bad but those don't really matter in-game so don't worry about them unless you want to challenge people online. Either way, try to get one with a better nature.

OK, Individual Values are set when you catch your Pokémon, and limit the Maximum (and also Minimum) stats your Pokémon can have. You can't change them at all unless you're willing get a new Pokémon. Natures Also Affect the Stats, Timid drops Attack and boost Speed. Many of Garchomps moves use the Attack stat, so this Gible isn't going to be the best choice for Battle Fronter/Battle Tower. Also Natures don't change unless you get another Pokemon.

Are the Elite Four and Champion's Pokémon actually EV trained? I ask because i'm doing a Wedlocke Challenge in Platinum, and there are a few opponents I want to be ready for in advance. My Gengar is Level 55 and has 172 Speed, and my Weavile has a -Speed nature but I have been giving her some Speed EVs (they're in different pairs), and i'm hoping they'll be faster than Lucian's Alakazam and Cynthia's Garchomp respectively. I tried watching MunchingOrange's videos, because I know his Weavile at Level 50 wasn't faster than Lucian's Alakazam, but at Level 55 it was faster than Cynthia's Garchomp, but I know he deposited his Weavile for most of the post-game, so I don't know his Speeds at those points.

In short, are the Elite Four EV trained? Thanks!

No, in fact, any Pokémon you face that is owned by an in-game trainer (other than those in the Battle Frontier) have no EVs at all.
